At this point not really, check my post, nowadays we get regular indy guys for the different small promotions we have.
But the time of the video on the OP (2009), the local wrestling promotions were really small and almost no one knew about them so wrestling practically didn't even exist for most people. The only thing that was on the collective mind was WWE and the Attitude Era, which was fukking HUGE here from 99' to 02' (we got it with 6 month delay but the internet was such a rarity yet that no one was really spoiled up until the last year), once it ended they stopped showing it on TV and wrestling stopped being a "thing". By 2005 it returned and a lot of fans were older and started getting into the IWC and shyt, plus a whole new generation of young people started getting into it. When it was announced that WWE was finally coming here in 2008 it was a pretty big deal, like an important band finally getting to play in our country. You add that to us being really emotional as fans (like most south americans) and you get people crying after even touching the Undertaker, that's someone most people never thought they'll see live and that was seen as a legit icon - he's the most popular guy after Austin - hugging him was probably a "oh shyt, this is real" moment for breh.
